Trump blames vandals for damaged grass in the same spot where he held his big July 4 celebration

Donald Trump on Sunday said vandals are to blame for large swaths of dead grass on the National Mall near the World War II Memorial — in the same spot where Trump had a stage built and hosted crowds for his July 4 celebration.

Trump made the accusation in a social media post without saying why he believes it’s the work of vandals instead of trampled turf from the Independence Day festivities. He posted a photo showing a once-grassy area by the World War II Memorial, now patchy and brown across much of the sprawling turf.

“Look what VANDALS did to the grass connecting the vandalized World War II Monument and the vandalized Reflecting Pool, which will be opened again, and better than ever, shortly,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

I imagine he also makes similar accusations when he shits his pants. "How did this shit appear on my underwear and pants? Clearly the work of Antifa!" ☝️🍊

He's not wrong, it was a vandal. They even tore down the east wing and clogged up the straight of Hormuz like it was a low flow toilet in the Whitehouse.

Hey, leave the Germanic tribe of the Vandals out of this. They got a bad rep from those pesky Romans, but they were clearly not as bad as that orange twat.

He's more like Sulla in the late empire period, when the Republic died in all but name,in the agrarian revolt and civil war and his appointment as dictator for 10 years until his death, a reign of terror.

He put daily lists of proscriptions in the forum every day, first enemies. No police then, citizens got a reward killing them. Then he would seize their assets and spend it in drunken orgies and such. He then took to proscribing the rich of his own party under false pretense to seize their assets.

He eventually died from some kind of parasitic infection in his asshole.

Seems like we have had a increase of "vandals" ever since this guy took office again. Maybe its the guy in charges fault?

Even after he deployed the national guard to DC to crack down on crime. So not only has crime gone up under him, it's gone up while he's been actively "stopping it"

Well he's not wrong, it is vandals... the vandals living in the White House.

Every accusation is a confession. This is a little on the nose, though.

Vandal-In-Chief praises the efforts of his vassal vandals:

“Look what VANDALS did to the grass connecting the vandalized World War II Monument and the vandalized Reflecting Pool, which will be opened again, and better than ever, shortly”

He's not complaining, he's crowing.

His meaning of "better than ever" is different from that of any sane person

For some reason I'm reminded of that crazy lady that was the GF of Junior screaming to an empty room about how the "best is yet to COME!!!!"

Whatever happened to that crazy lady, anyway? 🤔

Oh right, she was used up and cast aside like a used Kleenex....

They split in 2024, but she got "being the ambassador to Greece" out of it.

4

Yeah, maybe a softer landing than most of his former insiders get, I suppose. Still, probably orchestrated to get her away and out of the picture w/o her writing some tell-all book...

3

He dumped her and Trump made her go away with a ambassador role

East wing destroyed, reflecting pool destroyed, lawn destroyed. I wish we could see before and after pics.

How did these vandals get past our Brave National Guard armed with Automatic Weapons and Keen Eyesight? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

He thinks he can say anything and it will distract us from his war crimes and the sex trafficking from Mari Lago and the rapes and the sexual assaults and the pedophilia and adultery and all the fraud and insider trading and market manipulation and bribery and election interference and the treason and the fake elector scheme and dodging the draft and colluding with dictators and constantly lying to the public and alienating all our nation state allies and depleting our military’s munitions and filling the government with incompetent loyalists and etc etc etc the list never fucking ends…

And he thinks he can point at some grass and say “hey look over there!” And we will just roll over and fall for it.

What a dumbass. Does he know how much shit is exploding out of both ends of his disgusting lumpy fleshsuit, or is he really that oblivious?

I think he's trolling the American public. He knows darn well that it was vandalized - by him. And he knows that no one is going to do a damn thing about it.

6

Not so much trolling as he is distracting from his constant crimes.

Man, you'd think that the residence of the president of the united states would have the security to prevent people from messing up the grass. I guess it's easier to get to the president than was thought possible. I wonder if he's a security nightmare to the people who have to protect his worthless ass.

How does he still have supporters though? He doesn't even know where he is 95% of the time.

He's become the stereotypical old man, telling the kids to stay off his grass...

Anyone who don't think my pants was vandalized by librulcrats should go back to helicopters school.

I mean, he's not wronng. Vandels did kill it. Specifically little do and the crew he had set up.

Remind me to stay away from any area his contractors have been.

I haven't been to DC since he took office again... I won't do it.. It's not a safe place anymore with his Gestapo running around...

University of Idaho really hates this guy and this country.

Wasnt this case actually vandalism? I thought someone went out with roundup or vinegar or something and killed the grass in a pattern like 88 47 or something (Hitler's number and Trump's number)

Or was that a different lawn?

That was in June, and it was 86 47 (86 being restaurant lingo for 'remove from the establishment') that was also a different patch of grass.
